REVIEW: “He Brought Her Heart Back In A Box”

Trailblazing experimental African American playwright Adrienne Kennedy’s powerful new play, “He Brought Her Heart Back in a Box”, pieces together an anatomy of interracial young love amidst 1940s Georgia, stewing in the horrific inescapability of history, the tragedy of racism, and contradictions of life in the Jim Crow South.  Dense, quick, sentimental, angry, and mysterious, this is one new work from a legend worth checking out.
